WICD not finding all networks in area.

Backtrack 4 Final
F5D9050
VMware

I'm able to do everything when it come to sniffing, penetrating and much more! But, it takes me around an hour to get my interface up. When I boot Vmware, I keep my wireless usb card out until backtrack boots up completly, then I insert my usb card and start networking. After i select start networking, i go to wicd and start the gui. Sometimes it finds all the networks but 90% of the the time it says no wireless networks found! I'm able to do a airodump and see that all networks in my area, but when I do a iwlist scan the device is almost always not scanning. It says "device is busy, or temperalily out of unavailable.

airmon-ng:
wlan0 Ralink 2573 USB rt73usb - [phy0]

Is it doing this because its not reading my driver as rausb0 thats what it was in BT3, but when it does find the networks it works perfect and out the box.
